The Norway Agenda

About Me

A unique blend of all the members' listening habits and experience, The Norway Agenda's sound bridges the gaps between classic, progressive, alternative, and indie rock. With its dual guitar attack, melodic bass lines, and bad-ass drummer, The Norway Agenda will fuck your ear-pussy good.
